As a symbol of happiness, the bluebird is both ironic and iconic. Iconic because bluebird imagery is synonymous with happiness. Ironic because the word blue is synonymous with unhappiness. Without waxing poetic or philosophical, the bluebird seems like a good stand-in for life. In summary, bluebird = bittersweet.
Come to think of it, maybe a better bird choice would have been the barn swallow. The daring, acrobatic antics of those little irrepressible birds always make me smile.
